Abstract
A previously healthy 7-year-old boy presented with a protein-losing enteropathy secondary to a hypertrophic gastropathy. The diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was established by detection of CMV inclusion bodies in gastric biopsy samples and by hybridization with a CMV probe. This report further strengthens the association between CMV and pediatric Menetrier's disease.
